I just started tearing up for the first time. I was going through my emails and came across one where someone just simply "stumbled" across my thread via a google search and just donated without even knowing who I am, for the first time I am at a loss of words, the generosity of some people are truly amazing. Why this touched me in such a way I'm not sure, its funny how the oddest things move you.

Just got another email in...

Hello,

My name is ******************, I am from ******** WI and just so happened to stumble upon your website and want to take a moment to thank you for all that you are doing. It is people like you that prove there is still good and wonderful people in this world. I would just like to know if you would like me to mail you my donation or pay through the website, also am wondering if you still have 3 bracelets left? I have a marathon I am running in 4 weeks and would love to have a bracelet to show my support. Please feel free to email me whenever you get the time. And once again thank you so much for your kind actions.

I am glad youre doing this for all the right reasons. Good works is good soul.

One more to share, I just find this incredibly moving that people are finding this thread through google..

Thanks for your response and acknowledgement.

I am not a runner and don't post on the runners forum or  website. I actually found your post and link doing a Google search, as my two teen daughters wanted to find Boston Marathon bracelets to show their support. And I found your posting and link, etc.

Again, thank you for doing it and I hope the Richards family benefits from the donations. They will have a long slog for a while.

So moving, I am so excited by the amount of responses. I have spent the last two hours reading email after email and updating my address/order spreadsheet.

Now its time to get off and relax for a minute before bed.

Was able to donate another 5, will be donating more next week (this week not good).. Just sent email for 3 bracelets if possible.

thanks again for doing this...

Edit..Can I share this in my running group?

By all means. Please share.

This is wonderful.

jblack is going to go viral.  He's going to have to hire a part-time staff to keep up with demand.
